The Emotions of Moving: Are You Ready?

common moving mistakes to avoid

Being in the moving business since 1993 means we’ve moved many families out of their beloved family homes. Not only is it an exciting time but it can be a stress filled and very emotional time as well.  We’ve seen entire families reduced to tears as our team loads their belongings on the truck. If you are considering a move out of your current home consider these important points that will help make your move a bit easier.

Make it easier for yourself

Moving out of a home with history can present an emotional challenge.  Factors like how long you have lived there, your family history in the home, first home or birth of children, marking your kids’ height on the doorway or close neighborhood relationships all add to the emotional impact of moving.  Take time to explore all the reasons you are considering a move.  Even if you are relocating for a positive reason like taking a new job the emotional side of moving can still hit you hard.  Make it easier on yourself by acknowledging and anticipating the emotional aspect of moving.

Make it easier for your family

Discuss the move with your entire family because it will have an impact on them as well. And if your children are school age the thought of moving away can be overwhelming. One way to ease the emotions is to create a scrapbook of your home.  Take pictures of each family member’s favorite part of your home like a favorite room, porch or play area in the yard. It’s a comforting memento that will provide a way of taking a part of the family home with you.

Just make it easier

If you know that emotions will be a significant factor for both you and your family its best to take full advantage of a moving company.  OK, so it may seem obvious that we’d recommend hiring a mover.  But packing and moving your belongings is stressful to begin with and when you add the emotions of the move itself to the mix those tasks become enormous. And after many years of watching families melt down it’s a situation we recommend you avoid if at all possible.  When you are free to focus on yourself, your family and the bigger details your move will be a far more positive experience.

What was your biggest moving challenge?  How did you overcome it?  Let us know in the comments.
